Professional Overwatch team Boston Uprising announced on Monday that it had fired player Jonathan Sanchez, aka “DreamKazper.” Sanchez had been on indefinite suspension pending an investigation into allegations that he been involved in sexual misconduct with a minor.

The controversy arose on Sunday when several tweets were posted claiming that DreamKazper had initiated numerous sexually inappropriate conversations with a 14-year-old girl. Screenshots of portions of the chats were also shown.

Later an alleged statement from the girl in question was posted. In it she claimed that she had not only been involved in sexting with the 21-year-old pro gamer, but that they had exchanged nude pictures and had explicit FaceTime sessions. She also claimed that he had taken advantage of her vulnerability as a youth who had just broken up with her boyfriend.

“As time progressed, it became apparent that we were more than friends,” she wrote. “Things started getting sexual very quickly. I had recently gotten out of a relationship and was incredibly vulnerable. The attention he was giving me had blinded me from seeing that what was happening was wrong.”

She claims that she made him aware of her age very early on in their messaging, but that he didn’t seem to mind and became more “flirty” as they continued to chat. The minor also claimed that he had made several lewd comments and advances toward friends of hers after they had invited him into a group chat. The other girls in the conversation were under-aged as well.

It did not take long for the Overwatch League to notice the attention. It immediately suspended Sanchez indefinitely while it investigated the matter.

Boston Uprising was also notified of the situation and stated that they had suspended him from the team indefinitely as well.

By Monday, the investigation into the matter had apparently concluded, and it was not good news for Sanchez. Boston Uprising announced via Twitter that it had terminated his contract.

Overwatch League has not issued a statement at this time regarding the results of its investigation or whether further action against Sanchez would be pursued. Possible steps that may be taken include permanent banning from league play or notification of legal authorities.

Couple of lessons here.

First: "The attention he was giving me had blinded me from seeing that what was happening was wrong."

Girls can do no wrong. If, at any point, a relationship with you (the guy) is perceived to her to be a net negative, she is a victim and you are an aggressor. This is not merely a socially enforced practice, it has been the norm in law enforcement and court rulings for decades.

21 year old "pro" gamer = probably zero social skills, esp. with women. He flashed cash, she thought it was cool, then she found out he is a dweeb. The rest of the story is posted above.

Second: "In it she claimed that she had not only been involved in sexting with the 21-year-old pro gamer, but that they had exchanged nude pictures and had explicit FaceTime sessions."

If you are 21, you should not be involving yourself (romantically or otherwise) with females under the age of 17. If you are 21 and involving yourself with someone who is younger than 16...well, I've got to wonder what you're really into. That's weird, bro. And suspicious.

Moreover: never solicit or suggest sexually explicit material from *anyone* over the internet unless you personally know that person and they are 18 or older.

Why?

They're both now liable for production, distribution, and possession of child pornography. He'll go on a sex offender registry and the girl will probably get a stern talking to by a judge.

Wow, you sure make a lot of assumptions and generalizations in your post. A lot of your reasoning sounds like the garbage I saw on some Fox News opinion piece where the males reasoned that "any sex a woman regrets after the fact is suddenly regarded as rape". Every story is different and yes sometimes women are out for revenge or to hurt you (they're human too like you with the penis), but to say that girls can do no wrong is flat out *****ic. If you're 21 and talking to a 14 year old who tells you she's 14 (another male defense is they didn't know the other person's real age) then that is a red flag that you need to stop immediately. Period.

That's called regret rape, and if Fox had a panel on it I guarantee you it was 5 years late and more than a few dollars short. Fox is old news.

Learn the difference between hyperbole and absolutes.

Did I not say this in my original post?

Why, yes. Yes, I did:

If you are 21, you should not be involving yourself (romantically or otherwise) with females under the age of 17.
 
What is wrong with people that normal porn isn't enough? Is it so hard to rub one out and going back to pretending that you're a normal person?

Maybe it's because I was a sexually active teenager but these thoughts don't even cross my mind. I want a woman that can respond to my sarcasm with better sarcasm
 
That may indeed be the problem with these young males they are use to rubbing one out to porn and don't have any actual experience with real women :)

90% of the time it's this. Most people I've met in my age range (20s) who struggle with chicks, they have no idea how to even say hello to a girl they're attracted to. Then they go straight for the number w/o so much as asking a name or don't approach at all. Zero game.
 
Pathetic on both sides. A 21-old male excited that a female is finally talking to him and rationalized and blew past the fact that she was 14 years old. A young 14-old female drunk on the power that she can play with and at anytime destroy this guy. Neither are innocent.
 
To both parties:

As I see it, all you needed to say was
If you are 21, you should not be involving yourself (romantically or otherwise) with females under the age of 17.
This society, whether you like it or not, is patriarchal, and in most cases, males are the aggressors. If you are a male and have experienced otherwise and did not or do not fight for yourself, that is your issue, not the issue of the aggressor.
 
This guy is trash, going after an underage girl. But the girl is no angel either. If she was willing to share nude pictures of herself she deserves a good scolding. "I had recently gotten out of a relationship and was incredibly vulnerable", what happened, did your primary school sweetheart dump you?. And this quote "As time progressed, it became apparent that we were more than friends", what made you realize that? Was it the fact that you were sending him nude pictures of yourself? Damn.

In the end, they deserve each other.

There is no doubt she is a ******* but the way our society works the male will take all the heat for this. And she will be free to do it again until someone rapes her.

Then she will finally learn the lesson just because you can doesn't mean you should.
